Do I need to repeat bad mistakes of judgment as the prodigal son? Does shortcomings of Christianity prevent me from having some fun?
Having a head filled with knowledge and a restless spirit yearning to feel, when I’m completely pulled unto Him, how much of my true self is revealed?
Born into this earthly realm of sin, I begin life already missing His mark; falling short of divine perfection, unto His voice alone I must hearken
to learn all of my spiritual lessons. Aiming solely for His perfect will, guarantees many, errant missteps in acquiring Joy’s lasting thrill.
All of my personal gains are fleeting and considered a loss before Christ; only the gift of His Salvation is… the worthwhile prize for eternal life.
Being found in Him alone, I’m covered with His cloak of divine righteousness; therefore, my fatal flaw is addressed and hidden by Christ’s eternal holiness. . . . Author Notes:
